I have noticed a highly deadly and spreading pandemic across the globe as of late. I can see the metaphorical gallows in the courtyard for everyone to see within today’s society. It has become a societal norm to publicly shame someone for their decisions and actions. So much so, people are making a career out of it. Make a video shaming a public figure then collect two hundred dollars. When did public shaming take the elite piece of land in the game of monopoly?
The “elite”, as many prefer to cast most blame upon, do not have to feed fear into the mass population. We do that for them. All they do is plant a seed. We grow it. The seed of shame has started to grow strong roots into the energetic atmosphere and is communicating across the globe through a collective transmission like trees communicate through their root network underground.
I’ve been thinking quite a bit about that. TikTok is rampant with public shaming. Public shaming is likely rampant on many social platforms. It breaks my heart a little every time I witness any sort of public shaming. Who wins? No one. That’s the first thought I have every time I see or hear someone pointing fingers or calling someone derogatory names just to get their point across. This includes politicians, celebrities, or any other public figure.
Everyone has an ego. Everyone has moments where they experience something difficult. No one has control over their ego in the moment of a trigger. The stronger the trigger, the stronger the reaction. Shaming feeds this cycle. This cycle feeds fear of authenticity and breeds complacency, deceit, anger, vengeful thoughts and potential actions, as well as exclusion, fear of emotional public displays, and reluctance to experience loving acceptance in an openly self expressive way.
In addition, the more power a person holds that you are shaming, the greater the risk you are taking when it comes to your overall safety. Public shaming creates war on all levels because an ego demands to be right, including inside your own individual mind. Shame a president or another form of national leader enough and watch their ego have a public temper tantrum. Anyone being shamed becomes an instant cowering child all over again. Regardless of status and authority.
Shame opens its room inside your mind and greets you with a smile. “Come on in. I told you you were horrible. See I understand you. You are safe to be horrible here. I accept you”. Once you enter, you ruminate and bask in the decor. Then you come back out of your shaming room feeling even less of a person than you did before, or worse, vengeful. If you were not the one being shamed, yet you were exposed to the public upheaval, then you open the door to fear of authenticity inside your own mind. You may or may not walk in. Nonetheless, the temptation is presented to your subconscious pathways.
As I sat quietly contemplating the potential affect public shaming has on society across the globe, Clairity whispered an interesting statement.
“The moment you shame someone is the same moment you tack more pressure onto yourself to perform. Shaming breeds perfectionism and fear of condemnation in a world designed to be perfectly imperfect. Public shaming also stunts the growth and conscious expansion
of all parties involved in the experience”.
Your life demands balance. Your emotions and reactions create waves and therefore motion, which alters your position on this balanced energetic scale. Your ego, who you identify yourself to be at a subconscious level, becomes addicted to the emotion most often experienced. These emotions are triggered by outside messages being translated internally for self identification and familiarity.
Yes, people can become addicted to depression and anger. People can become addicted to adrenaline and insert themselves into dangerous predicaments. People can also become addicted to anger through hate to the point of violence, including self harm. Whatever home your ego likes to reside inside your mind becomes a comfort zone. The more your ego is pushed outside that home, the more your ego wants to slam the door and stay inside. This is my home, dammit!
All jokes aside, it’s true. This is the risk of public shaming. Your life has been designed to send you energy waves which influence your sense of perception and eventual physical conditions. These waves become impulses to take action in some way. An action may be a sudden thought then forward movement. An action could be to attract continuous stimulus of public shaming to remind you and reinforce the risk of being called out for skellies in your own closet. An action could be to fantasize a sudden energy transfer between yourself and another. The more you expose yourself to a certain possibility the more likely it becomes probability. Once it becomes a probability, fear moves into your ego’s home inside your mind and spreads like a disease to every corner of your thoughts.
When you place someone on a metaphorical pedestal you risk disappointment and heartache. Reason being, an ego reacts instantly in a moment and therefore can fall off of the pedestal you placed them on. In addition, you place your importance below someone else. Doing this gives your autonomy away little by little. If you are going to place someone on a pedestal, you best place yourself on one too. You must both be perfect to be equal when sitting on a pedestal. I imagine you would be supportive of equality, right?
When you choose compassion to see that a triggered ego is quite often a hurting ego, you begin the process of naturally observing solutions over problems. The more you focus on the shaming and subsequent reactions of the shamed, the more pressure you have to be perfect. You would therefore become a compulsive perfectionist in some way. You would strive to present yourself in a high standard which then secretly whispers from the shame room inside your head that you may eventually become a victim of public shaming. Once this fear takes a foothold, the greater the probability of becoming victim to public displays of shaming. You ultimately attract the experience. You intuitively, if not consciously know the risk of shame and blame. Because of this, you feed your own fear every time you partake in it in any way, including being a silent witness.
Yes it’s important to be aware of other people’s actions, especially when their actions affect your livelihood. With that said, pick and choose your battles wisely. Otherwise you risk your own character downfall. It takes incredible internal strength, resilience, fortitude, grace, dignity, self respect, perfect masculine and feminine alignment, and has mastered them, plus a global mindset of peace, before anyone can be placed on a pedestal. Even with that, this character best be consistent on a minute by minute basis. Otherwise that pedestal is going to rock. Someone’s bound to get hurt if that pedestal reaches skyscraper status.
With that in mind, learn from those who have created destruction in some way rather than shame them. Keep your energy and spend it on creating peace, love, and harmony in your life. If a public figure is being a tyrant or making a perceived fool out of themselves, take note and then take action towards what does speak to your morals, virtues, and standards of living. Release the impulse to shame them publicly or privately by placing all your focus on the problem. Refrain from supporting others who choose to publicly shame. If you do that you become the problem rather than the solution. Reason being, no one feels safe after public shaming. If no one feels safe, how does global peace become possible?
